Could these Lebanese 3D glasses really beat Google Glass?

atheer_large_2

Wamda has an interesting article today about Lebanese entrepreneur Soulaiman Itani who debuted a pair of wearable glasses that displays augmented reality in three dimensions as opposed to Google’s two.

The glasses, Atheer One, were built in partnership with a computer vision researcher called Allen Yang and can allow the wearer to exercise with virtual targets, conduct conference calls while browsing online, and even play three dimensional games.

They also have two major advantages over Google Glass since they offer a bigger field of vision and can allow all existing Android apps to work withing their platform. However, they always need to be physically attached to an Android device to work.

Itani and his partner are currently raising funds on Indiegogo and offering Atheer One for an early bird special price of $350 for the first 100 backers.

My Last Valentine in Beirut to stop showing in Cinemas

After the order of nurses in Lebanon filed a lawsuit against My Last Valentine in Beirut for showing an actress wearing a provocative nurse outfit, it seems that the film director Salim El-Turk decided to stop showing it in Lebanese cinemas instead of waiting for the General Security to take a decision about the lawsuit, as per Lebanon Files a while ago.

Still, I don’t know why I’m feeling like the movie will keep showing, and that the producers are just spreading these news to get as much people as possible to go watch the movie now.

Update:

The movie is now showing again in theaters after it stopped for a while.

A virtual tour inside Beirut City Centre

I just came across this video showing how Beirut City Centre, which is due to open in the first quareter of 2013, will look like.

Given how large the mall is, I believe it will cause massive traffic jams near its main entrances especially that the road there is so narrow.

My last valentine in Beirut

“My last valentine in Beirut” is a Lebanese movie by Salim El-Turk and was supposed to be released back in May but for some reason it didn’t make it.

A few days ago I started seeing some posters announcing it will premiere in theaters on November 15th.


Needless to say, it looks cheap.

My last valentine in Beirut

T-GROUP PRODUCTIONS presents ‘My last valentine in Beirut’, the first feature film to be produced in 3D in the Arab region ever, with one of the highest production costs and biggest production team.

The movie will have a world wide release with professionally crafted plans of marketing mixes and distribution.
The people behind the movie offer decades of experience in the movie business, and master exciting edgy storytelling and visual side effects.

This movie will bring a unique movie experience to the middle east and worldwide as it will bring together the touching history and cultural heritage of the region, together with the latest international technologies in the movie business.

So far the trailer is getting so much negative comments on Youtube, to which the video uploader replied with the following.

To all people who are adding their comments, thank you, we respect your honest opinions. Nevertheless, for those of you who are trying to drag the movie into z PORN category: judging a movie which you have never seen from its trailer which is only for few minutes makes your comments irrelevant and unaccountable for, and doesn’t reflect what z movie is about but only what you think in general about Arab girls. I think you might want to look at the big picture.

To me, the trailer looked really cheap, and producers seem to be overusing sex to sell their movie, it’s even like they’re begging to have it banned like “Help”!

Anyway, regardless of the movie’s topic, why did it have to be shot in 3D?! Did they want Juliette’s figures to be as real as possible when people watch it?
